Booklet drama shows race on for grassroots vote

CCF BOOKLET: Under attack. Below: Khaiyum's selective memory.

Ironies on ironies but as those who've been fighting for a true return to democracy know, it's par for the course.

In another important battle in the lead up to the September elections, the illegal attorney

general is waging war on the Citizens Constitution Forum again, claiming a booklet it is distributing is 'misleading, full of lies and damaging.'Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum claims the CCF is trying to cause disquiet among landowners, denying there will be compulsory acquisition of land.

He insists the regime's 2013 Constitution makes it clear that if the state no longer requires land for public purposes 'it must give back that land.'Khaiyum is also wringing his hands over mentions the people can no longer have faith in the judiciary but let him deny there has been no rule of law since the 2006 coup and the abrogation of the Constitution in 2009.

Yet this from the hypocrite: “And all of us need to be very annoyed by this because we want ordinary
Fijians to have the right information, to be informed by facts. Let them
make up their mind. It does not mention at a single time the fact there
was widespread consultation on the constitution. Not a single time.”

Regional governments and its media have been glorying in the 'new future of Fiji' since the announcement of a date for the election, the naming of Frank Bainimarama's new party and the lifting of the travel sanctions.

It is an ongoing challenge though to sift through the propaganda, even as we hear media proclaim Bainimarama has signed up 2,000 supporters, just a week after announcing his party.

As the drama over the CCF booklet shows, it continues to be an unfair playing field and the regime and its well-oiled propaganda machine cannot be taken at face value.

With the guilty verdict of the Fiji Labour Party leader, Mahendra Chaudry, on three breaches of the Exchange Control Act, the focus now turns to the fate of FLP, the biggest party after SODELPA.

Who will take over as leader if Chaudhry is sentence to jail on May 1 and who will benefit from the fragmenting of votes?

If Squealer really believes ordinary Fijians need to have the right information, to be informed by facts, to make up their minds, then why does he oppose a live debate between Boss Hawg and the opposition candidates?

what's you salary maichod? tell the truth. and why is your aunty processing your salary instead of the government department that is meant to be doing that sort of thing?don't tell others they are lying.YOU are the stinkiest liar the country has had.

Why is the country's pretend-Attorney-General weighing in on an issue like this? Is ASK now the Fiji Fart campaign manager? Highly undecorous for an AG to be doing this. Also, an AG is supposed to be the top law enforcement officer in the land. How can he be relied upon to mete out unbiased justice if he's the campaign manager of a political party?

KHAIYUM MATES IN NZ TOOK LARGE AMOUNT OF FUNDS .DID RBF /DPP/POLICE CHARGED THEM?CORRUPTION AT HIGHEST LEVELDONT WORRY SODELPA/FLP WINS SOME OF THIS BIG CROOKS IN SCAM WITH FBC AND WATER AUTHORITY /OTHERS WILL BE BROUGHT TO FIJI AND JAILED FOR 15 YEARS WITH HARD CRIMINALS .SO THEY CAN BE F IN THE ASS NICELY THIS PUFFTERS WILL LIKE IT.

F frank and free school fees .tax payers paying fees/others .nothing is paid by khaiyum/frank.they are ripping tax payers and milking salaries 1.2 million per years and kick back in commissions.sdl/flp multiparty govt total salaries for 36 ministers were 3 miilion less than khaiyum/frank salaries.

SCAM OF ILLEGAL GOVERNMENT1. Salary of over $1.2 million of Bai/ Khayium2. Salary processed by aunty nur bano ali to hide the salary3.Khayium sold his house in Berry road bought for $210,000 in 2003 to Tappos for $850,000 in 2007.4. Road scam with the chinese - over pricing of road per square km. Huge kickback paid to Bai/Khayium5. Casino Project in Nadi the consultant is nur bano ali so all the money paid to Khayium to get approval through aunty nur bano ali.6. Movie licence given to Lailum Khan and Vijay Maharaj and commission paid to Khayium.What experience these two have in bollywood movies. These two are the way Khayium can be paid.7. Several contract of building given to Muslims - A. Jan Construction so commission paid to Khayium.8. Khayium paid commission by chinese for the china town project next to garden city. Chinese given this prime property free. The list is endless. All these must be exposed to the voters.

Nothing is free given by the regime. Free edcuation, bus fare is a small amount of money given to people. Now we read FIRCA collected huge tax from the people of Fiji.So now they going to people collect the money and give it back to thee people.The targets are Indians. Nothing free has been given by the illegal regime.

Short sighted blogger anon who will vote for ask-vb because of free schooling. i guess this blogger needs this free schooling because he sure needs to understand maths and he will find out the high inflation cost of living far outweighs a few free-bees thrown together by the Regime criminals.

Why should the CCF have to sort things out with the illegal government before printing its election pamphlet? The League of Women Voters never has to sort things out with a government before publishing its voting guides.

Its unfair to call Nirmal untrustworthy. He left PDP because he had differences with certain party policies. Instead of fighting he left PDP on high note. He could have joined any party because of his profile but he didnt. Yes, i agree if he forms alliance with sodelpa my vote and support for him 100%. I am told that PDP will welcome him back anytime. I support previous views on this blog that if FLP wants to make a difference then Nirmal is the only hope. I hope Nirmal will think about people then of his political expediency.

KHAIYUM/FRANK ARE BIGGEST LOSERS .THEY WANT TO RULE WITH IRON FIST .GOOD ON YOU REV YABAKI.GIVE EVERY FIJIAN THIS BOOK .KHAIYUM/BAI BKC IS A SCAM TO HOLD ONTO POWER AND RIP FIJIANS..NO ONE APPROVED THIS BKC.HAJI KHAIYUM BOASTING IN MOSQUE THEY WILL RULE FIJI AND MAKE THE BIGGEST MOSQUE IN NASESE .KHAIYUM TUMAR MAICHOD .

Khaiyum gay partners are divdamodar,gate,madigan,robertkhan .his ex wives all ran away n=bec they caught khaiyum been f by this partners .khaiyum is bothways. seems like naliva is f khaiyum too with his dildo from russia.

(Lord, Grant me this boon:Never may I turn back from righteousness;May I never turn back in fear when facing the foe;May I ever instruct my mind to chant Thy praises;And when the end arrives,May I fall fighting on the field of battle.) Sikh Prayer!

Anon 4.18. Fuck you who ever you are. Stop making this a Muslim Hindu or Christian issue. I am a Muslim and i neither support this goons nor have any thing to do with them. Many Muslim folks i know have nothing to do with these ass holes. So Fuck you, Fuck Frank fuck Khaiyuim and every one of you assholes who cant see that Frank and his cronies are just being human the worst fucking creature God has ever created. Loot steal and do whatever you like as long as the power is in their hands.That is the human way. Stop making this a religious issue.

AnonFuck you race and religion is fact of life. Gte rid of Muslims in particular Khayium all the problem is over. Because of Khayium Driti and now Mahen will go to prison.You think we gone sit and watch while Muslims celebrate. We will come for each one of them when the time is right.

anon 5.31 PM I agree 101% with what you say. the issue confronting us is not one of race or religion. the issue is how to get rid of the thugs who grabbed power unlawfully and imposed their diktats on us. let us be focused on this only.

I had the unfortunate experience of getting up close to Khaiyum. He stinks and he's got a bad case of halitosis, he sweats profusely and that makes him smellier than a pig. Well Bainimarama is also stink but not that bad, although his rear smells like, err shit. Ben Naliva is another one, but he spent more time prodding my anus with his fingers because his appendage is somewhat small, like Khaiyum's one.

Guys this is the truth so there you go. Even though I have an infected anus, thanks to Ben, I still like Bainimarama.

stop blaming rajesh .some muslims been ripping him and fiji off .how you will feel when some people rip you off .when you think old mullah is good person than he entice you and rip you off .go rajesh fight the bastard.khaiyum is doing the same to fijians.

Satendra Pratap Nandan is at it again-he writes a long boring 2 page thesis in the Fiji Sun(rejected by FT) about the boring Indian election-only Jyoti must have read the fullarticle(Jyoti= SPN"s wife from India).Mr None-Done-we are interested in the Fiji election -not your India erection.And for God's sake plse do not give us your warped ideas on our election-plse spare us from your shit!

whoever put up Nirmal singh's name next to Biman Prasad must be joking. Nirmal has no record. he just jumped on the bandwagon. he was a glorified messenger boy at american embassy before he was sacked. biman has been politics for long time. he is a professor. his record speaks for itself. You can trust Biman. But not Nirmal.

Bai got the beating from one of Fiji's traditional Chiefs. No law can be used to prosecute our traditional leaders because Baini comes under that law as well and even the smart ass Khai who is the AG does not have the guts to publicly denounce the Kai Viti traditional governance that was ratified by all countries on the globe. Check the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Indigenous Peoples.

All Hail- Bad luck you are in FIji and you MUST also bow down and respect the Kai Viti traditional culture.Bhai know too well that they will never offend the kai Viti because all Kai Viti are emotionally attached to their Vanua and Chiefs.

No amount of gifts and vote buying tactics will influence them to change their minds.

Any response from All hail Baini...poofter.

There will be a clean sweep so start making your way to Arabia, Pakistan, Syria or India.

We will throw you into the lovo if you delay your escape and your children.

Poofters are the ones who threaten on this site to throw all non-Fijians into a lovo whilst in real life they're hiding out in Brisbane or presenting sevusevu to the PM. If you were real men you would have stood up long before now. Even Operation Jericho was like the sound of a single cobo. All you bati ni tanoa talk tough now, but we still hold the power, and you're still cringing in the dark.

stop blaming rajesh .some muslims been ripping him and fiji off .how you will feel when some people rip you off .when you think old mullah is good person than he entice you and rip you off .go rajesh fight the bastard.khaiyum is doing the same to fijians.

First of all, the above blogger posted anonymously but reading between the lines one would certainly conclude that the writer is Rajesh himself hahahaha.

Secondly, All Hail Bainimarama is impersonating me. I know my anus was ripped by Ben Naliva and his mates, now it's infected. That aside I still love Ben Naliva.

I have lot of respect for this fella Nirmal because the way he left PDP and is a peoples man. Read his press release. Very professional and displayed maturity. He didnt run down PDP. Lets be fair. He is a good guy and trained by Americans and knows whats democracy and human rights are. He is very much liked by i-taukeis and indians as well. He took PDP to fame within three months and other self centered people got jealous and tried to fuck him. He didn't fight to destroy the party but left. We need good people in parliament and we should support people like Nirmal no matter which party he chooses. I am pretty sure this election will be about people and not party and lets choose the best people. I just hope Nirmal does take up FLP leadership because FLP policies are very good and for the people. He has the respect and wisdom to get indians and i-taukeis together and bring new hope for Fiji. I will support him all the way. He has kind of disappeared so not sure if he will contest next election. Journalists out there please find out where he is and what are his intentions. People like him are needed to run Fiji. Another good fella is Parmesh Sharma. He should fight next election too. Lets support and encourage good people to lead us.

Saw today's Fijji Times, the huge crowd greeting the PM.PICTURES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS!. I dont need to harp about the 80% support the pictures are doing the opinion poll in High Definition HD.That Corrupt Verata Chief will have to swallow his own words now.

Anon@11.36AM. Look closely and you will see desperation on the faces of those people. It appears that a lot are swearing lol It was also a chance for the people to see Baimagasona before he is sent to Naboro for a very long time.

Can the Fiji Sun publish the pictures on the PM's tour of the West. Jyoti ,honey, the pictures speak a thousand words,my dear.If you dont publish the pictures I wont massage your back next time.The other parties are panicking after seeing the support of the people in the West.Qai wacava ni sa na yaco mai North,sa na qai levu sara na support!Yahooooo!Woooooweeeeia!Toso Bai Toso IT IS YOUR DESTINY TO WIN THE ELECTIONS AND BE FJ PM.Sa na qai sivia ga na lomaca vei eso na tamata.Tabu saka yani!ha!ha!ha!THE 80% OF THE POPULATION OF FIJI ARE SHOWING THEIR SUPPORT NOW.WE DONT NEED COALITION,WE WILL WIN HANDS DOWN!A LANDSLIDE VICTORY THAT WILL ASTONISH THE WORLD AND BE FOREVER BE WRITTEN BE EMBEDDED IN FIJI'S HISTORY.

+to noqu viti lomaniHey MF if he other races did not come to Fiji to develop it you would still be a cannibal and drop your shit thinking about someone taking your land.Give one example of who wanted to take your land and your so called high chief wants all the money for himself.He can't get off his fat ass and work.

I for one am not surprised to hear Sylvester Joseph has come to gives his support to Frank Bainimarama.Sylvester Joseph has always been a conman. It is only fitting that he should team up with other conman -including Frank. Birds of a feather flock together.

can Sylvster Joseph tell us how many members of his immediate family did jail time for fraud or other unlawful activities?Is that why he has an affinity for Frank Bainimarama - a law breaker of the worst kind?

Nirmal Singh is true grassroots person liked by all races. As Rajendra Chaudhry said, NFP is a racist incompetent and selfish business driven party. They don't care about ordinary Fijians.Agenda of Biman is always self serving.​ for the racist Biman Prasad. Biman please name 10 Fijian friends that you have.

To the blogger above who yelled heep heep hooray,we don't want to hear you celebrating after Ben Naliva rammed you from the rear. I didn't celebrate when he did mine because I didn't feel anything hehehehe

"What Ratu Mara mentioned to Chaudary was to leave the land alone which indirectly he was saying to lead the nation you also need to be qualified traditionally."

I assume you are referring to that Fiji TV interview.

That line is true except you forgot to mention that Mara also said for Chaudhry to leave the land issue alone until Fijians thought Chaudhry was an angel. Mara was not saying that Chaudhry never touch Fijian land, he was just saying that Chaudhry build up Fijian trust first.

In that same interview you mentioned Mara also said that Chaudhry would've been the best PM ever up to that time.

Please do not twist the words of respected national figures long gone, especially one of a chief. That would be un-Fijian of you!!!

You also forget that it was Chaudhry who started the process of returning Schedule A and Schedule B land to Fijians and both Qarase and Bainimarama have continued that process.

Proposed Fiji First leader, Voreqe Bainimarama continues his trip around the West today gathering signatures to register his party. Hundreds flocked to meet him at the Nadi market this morning and many also boarded the blue bus to the chiefly house of Momo na Tui Vuda, Ratu Eparama Tavaiqia. Bainimarama was accorded with a traditional Yaqona ceremony and a traditional cere to welcome him. Speaking to FBC News Bainimarama says he’s already collected more than 5000 signatures. - See more at: http://www.fbc.com.fj/fiji/19012/bainimarama-happy-with-west-support#sthash.RXo2IVos.dpuf

How wonderful that you are all so spooked about the turnout for Frank on his registration campaign. If this is what happens when he is just getting signatures, you should all be terrified of what will happen when he starts campaigning in earnest. It's over and you better believe it, losers,

Latest news from Nadi is that a very senior flight attendant, Joanna Masirewa has been having late nights in the comfort of Mahendra Pal Chaudry's arms. She is now upset that MPC will be going to Naboro soon. She has been promised part of the $million in Aus. Joanna Masirewa is the daughter of an Indian bus driver from a woman of Bau Island. Birds of the same feather do flock together.

Sylvester Joseph has always led a parasitic lifestyle - sponging on others. all his ex will tell you that.he has returned to Fiji to join the Frank free bus ride because he has spotted an opportunity for free loading!And another thing when he is around don't leave any money or valuables unlocked. he has very itchy hands.

Prime Minister Rear Admiral (Retired) Voreqe Bainimarama and his proposed political party were given a chiefly blessing in Nadi last night.In a private dinner hosted by the Taukei Naua, Ratu Ponijese Lou, at his home in Saunaka Village, the blessing was conveyed to him in the traditional iqaloqalovi presentation of the tabua (whalestooth).Isaia Saukuru, Turaga ni mataqali/yavusa Sivo, and matanivanua (herald), who presented the tabua said “me kalougata tiko na nomuni pati” meaning “we wish you and your proposed party all the best”. Symbolically, it means the chiefs and the people have given their blessing. Also present were the Tui Nadi, Ratu Sailosi Dawai, (pictured/inset) and a representative of the Tui Sabeto, Ratu Tevita Mataitoga.Earlier in the day, the Tui Vuda, Ratu Kitione Tavaiqia, invited Mr Bainimarama to his chiefly residence in Viseisei to declare his support for the PM’s proposed party.Hundreds of people gathered to discuss the proposed party and signed up to become members.Mr Bainimarama told them he was in the West to seek their signatures so that he could register his proposed party.“I am really touched by the warmth of people in the Western Division on how they have welcomed me and my proposed FijiFirst Party over the last two days,” he said.He said he was visiting the main town areas only because he was not campaigning. After meeting many people in Nadi, the PM and his blue bus received a rousing welcome in Sigatoka, where the Attorney-General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, joined the PM.

V for Vendetta , don't be surprised by people turning up to see Frank and his blue bus. People of fiji are like small rural village children who run after any new vehicle that comes to the village and like to hold the hand of the new arrival, especially if he or she is white. Frank is just a substitute for the white visitor. hence the curiosity. the visitor is soon forgotten...

What is wrong with you people? "Frank a substitute white visitor". "Anus ripping"? No wonder the rest of Fiji has turned their backs on you. Coup 4.5 is a sad little club for misfits and the criminally insane. Unbelievable rubbish.

if you with the regime and you grease the right palms then no law will be brought to bear on you and your unlawful activities.but if you against the regime then you will be phucked!that's how the law is applied in the better Fiji build by Khaiyum-Bainimarama dictatorship.not complicated at all!

Anonymous 12:50 PM, I, too, find many of these comments objectionable. I note that many of the coarsest sentiments come not from C4.5's core readership, but from regime supporters, as in the case of the posting immediately succeeding your own. But whatever their political stripes, I see no need for such language. In fact, they discredit themselves and the causes they espouse by resorting to such vulgarities.

In the case of regime opponents, I understand the anger. After all, they feel their government has been stolen from them, their vote denied, their basic rights trammeled, and they've no media outlets through which to express their feelings. But what excuse have the regime supporters? They have the government they want. Their apologists are given free rein. They've silenced their critics in all other media. Why do they sound just as angry and obscene?

I support stronger action by the blog administrator to elevate the level of discourse on this site by deleting the most offensive postings, no matter what the political viewpoint. Although some allowance must be given to the less educated who have difficulty articulating ideas without resort to gutter language, certainly postings that haven't any socially redeeming content should be blocked.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't want C4.5 to become like Grubsheet or Croz Walsh's blog -- censoring comments simply because the editor cannot offer an adequate rebuttal. Speaking of misfits and the criminally insane!

Anon@1.50pm...Seems to me the Indoare migrating in droves again?Noneed to trash Lady Ro Teimumu Kepajust keep in mind that after Septshe will be elected PM of Fiji andSODELPA will rein in Fiji for a very long time!!!Ro Teimumu is avery fair lady-especially to theVulagi and there is no need to be afraid of her and her Fijianism?Actually, i'm the one that assole like you should be concern about?cause i do not like indian in myFiji-i'm a Fijian Nationalist and i have two horns to prove it! I will joint SODELPA and will definitely advocate sending Indians back to India? All you should be worried about is the election, cause if win or lose there will be some curry-ass to be kicked as payback for the last8 years of Khaiyum Regime fuckups?Trust me we're waiting and you can bet you ass, that after thecounting is done, and the winneris announced, we're going to go nuts on your ass? Yes, we're going to kicked your asses and throw your carcases over into thesea!!!

Anonymous 1:50 PM is a salient example of a posting bereft of any socially redeeming quality whatsoever. It seems to me that the blog administrator has a responsibility to his blog, its readership, and society in general to block such postings in order to prevent all from being abused in this fashion.

On Tuesday Fiji Times,The Asian Bank together with the World Bank have announced that Fiji's Economy is faring better than the other Nations in the Pacific,including Aust and NZ.Where is the idiot getting his data of 7 Billion in Debt from? This is fearmongering?

The Arms and Ammunition found at the Gold Coast by Aust Police was destined for Fiji.Some desperate people are resorting to this.Qarase on the picture with Sodelpa leader and senior party executives on his left hand signals arms or gun and on his right he is giving the signal for death or thumbs down,just take a look see.He has given out the command to his supporters Fiji and abroad.Esp Ditoka and Uludole to begin their campaign of terror.

You only singled out the example using the comment by anon 1.50pm which referred to SODELPA leader. Didnt you see the abuse of other people already? Which is why this social media is free for all as it is. Dont blame admin.

Anon 2.47. Big Talk brother. For all you know you are probably afraid of a rat and you pansy around in a girls knickers when no one is looking. All strong and proud and full of bravado on the net where no one can see you piss your pants when push comes to shove. The Indian people have been fucked over many times in the lats 20 years and they have done nothing to fight back. This coup and all others have been done by the kaiviti. No Indian had a hand in this. It was just done on their name to justify the action. For all that Khaiyum is he did not plan this coup. He was invited to join after it was done. I challenge you to go up to the QEB and try picking a fight with them as they are the ones who allow this to happen and continue to support the government. For your information most of the people with the balls to show any resistance to Bai have been Indians. Wadan Narsey, Richard Naidu, Imrana Jalal to name a few. It is also fairly obvious that Frank is going to win this election outright. As much as i an "Indian" do not support him and will not vote for him it appears that the majority of Fiji will. You and your kind will be obsolete in the next 5 years.

A lot has been said about whether the Native Land is protected under the 2103 constitution. Some say it is and some say it is not. Isn't there (at least) one respectable, smart experienced itaukei lawyer in Fiji who can after reading the 2013 Constitution just tell us all in simple English whether the protection is guaranteed so that this topic is laid to rest. Then ASK and FB can also counter and tell their side of the story and confirm where actually the protection is. This is a simple exercise. Maybe there already is but not being published by any media - for fear.

Also it would be really helpful if FB and ASK can answer in very simple terms the following very simple questions being asked everyday by most people here on the blog or on the ground:

Is the 1.2m salary true or false. If is true then just say it as we will not be able to do anything about it anyway. If not then just show the public the salary slips. Are the salaries being paid through Nur Bano? Are you allowed to campaign before even being registered as a party? Are Chinese from China being given preferential treatment ahead of others? Are they paying you cash under the table? Did you buy the b lack car your wife is seen riding yours or Damodar gave you free for use or perhaps as a loan as long as they get their business deals through? Is is true that Nur Bano was paid 1m in fees for a report on the Rewa Dairy operations? Is it true that you have money stashed away in overseas bank? is is true that you now have more properties in Fiji? Why are you not disclosing your assets as promised by ASK some time ago? Why did you abolish the Public Accounts Committee? What happened to all the 4X4 that you confiscated from Ministers just after the coup? You said that these are waste of money but you went and bought plenty more 4x4's Why? can you tell why Col Aziz wasnt charged? What if you dont win this election are you prepared to sit on the opposition? What if you dont win at all will you accept the results? What is the true government debt now as compared to pre-Dec 2006? I am sure more questions will follow by other bloggers. All we need is very very simple answers.

There was no consultation on the constitution. What the regime calls "Consultation" was just a sales presentation by ASK. I had attended his presentations in West.

Unless the AG has created a new meaning of the word "Consultation" and had come up the a decree which I may have yet to see. The "Decree-smith" must have overlooked.

People the 2013 Constitution is illegal. Constitution is not "will of the People." Obviously that is the case here. This Constitution is going to face challenge in court of law and I don't mean in "Kangaroo Court' of Kai. We will take this matter to real court in The Hague, Netherlands. There is no doubt about it.

Section 185 of the 1997 Constitution no longer exists. Why was it removed? That section specifies that any changes to “entrenched legislation” ie Native Lands Act, Native Lands Trust Act, Fijians Affairs Act etc – must be approved by 9 of the 14 GCC (Bose Levu Vakaturaga) members of the Senate. The GCC members are nominated from the Provinces and represent the native landowners of Fiji. By removing Section 185, Kaiyum’s government has effectively rendered we, the native landowners, powerless over our own land. This power, under the 2013 Constitution now rests with the politicians in Parliament. All these changes were made without the consent of we the native landowners and as such totally unacceptable. Worse, the changes were made by people we do not know or recognise. It was not made by the leaders we elected nor were they made by our chiefs.

Baimarama! we will not vote for liars, we've witnessed it since 2006. You instigated the coup in 2006It was delcared illegal in 2009You then abrogated the constitution and remained in powersince. That is the trait of a power hungry liar!You lied about an early electionYou lied about getting only a commanders payYou lied about the military getting involved in the running of governmentLiar!Liar!Liar!

Bainimarama instigated a coup and that is not a lie, that is the truth.It was declared illegal in 2009 and the constitution was abrogated, that is the truth and any person who carries out a coup abrogates the constituotion. What were you expecting?The early elections was a ploy by the Pacific Island Forum at that time which he announced after talks. He never used the word promise and after analysis of the ploy by the PIF a road map was put in place which he has stuck to.He was receiving the commanders pay until he was appointed Pm by the Prsedient to lead the interim government in accordance with the road map.Those in the government have resigned from the military like resigning from any other job.

NOW WHO IS THE LIER HERE??? I think it is you Annonymous April 10, 2014 at 4:45 AM

Section 185 of the 1997 Constitution does not exist because the GCC does not exist. The very chiefs who should have stopped prime native land being swapped sat by and let the Warwick hotel, denarius and more recently the Natadola prime native land swapped for other land which does not get maximum returns for future generations. With the new constitution native land cannot be alienated or swapped unless 2/3 of parliament has to approve and then put to a referendum. The bill of rights protects the land better than those GCC nominees who have proven that they can't do anything even from earlier days with the ALTA land tenure. Where as the itaukei chiefs then?? Stop playing on emotions of the itaukei when the itaukei themselves are killing themselves.

The Fijians should think very carefully about who to vote for. Bainimarama is a corrupt lying murderous asshole, and he's been bribing people to vote for him. He's shit scared because he knows that if he fails in the election, him and Aiyarse and others are headed to Naboro. But that's a good thing because both Bai and Aiyarse will have their anuses ripped hahaha

shouldn't read too much into people flocking to FB's side whenever he arrives. Many gather out of curiosity (and hand-outs, if any are on offer) the same way they do when Chaudhary travels locally. The fame and notoriety of these men precede them. Just because so many gathered when they arrived, doesn't mean they support that particular person. Some are there too for a photo opp, should the opportunity arise. A picture they can save for posterity.

the guy who keeps posting "Honourable Prime Minister Rear Admiral Voreqe Bainimarama... Heep Heep Hooray!!" is clearly a person of very limited intelligence and vocabulary. Perhaps he was skipping school to smoke suki that's why he is in that poor intellectual state!!

Anonymous 5:23, the lier is Bainimarama. He's also the liar. Maybe you are, too.

At least you admit Bainimarama instigated the 2006 coup. Pretty hard not to admit that one, eh? He not only instigated it, but he conceived the idea, plotted it, recruited other conspirators, and carried it out.

He was also the mastermind behind the 2000 coup attempt. Forgot about that one, did you? Or do you deny his role in that? Just trying to gauge how much of a liar you are.

The coup was declared illegal in 2009, as you also admit. But you fail to mention what happened next. Your hero told the nation that in accordance with the court decision he was returning the army to the barracks. But it was a lie. Instead, he put the army on the strreet, in the press offices, and in the Internet cafés.

He purported to abrogate the Constitution. I say "purported", because the act was clearly illegal. It was a lie.

Carrying out a coup does not mean ipso facto that the Constitution is abrogated. The coup is illegal. It violates the Constitution. But it does not abrogate it. The Constitution remains in force, whether the lawful executive can enforce it or not. In this case, the lawful executive means Qarase. Bainimarama doesn't even come close.

If a coup automatically meant abrogation, then why did Bainimarama promise for three years that he would respect the Constitution? Why did he enshrine that promise in his "People's Charter"?

Bainimarama didn't respect the Constitution, though, did he? No, they were all lies.

The "early" elections were not a ploy by the PIF. It was a ploy by Bainimarama to placate the PIF and to carry out the pretense that his "interim" government would be short-lived. In other words, it was a lie. He lied to the PIF, he lied to the international community, and he lied to the Fijian people. Whether he used the word "promise" is semantics. He promised. Whether he was crossing his fingers at the time he lied is irrelevant. It was still a lie.

Bainimarama's Roadmap is something Bainimarama concocted unilaterally and imposed without consultations. It was a dishonest exercise from the beginning, again intended to buy time. He said that Fiji would enact a new Constitution after full consultations but then he selected the entire unbalanced drafting committee and decided all of the ground rules, which was quite dishonest.

But that was nothing compared to what came next. He then turned around, ignored the will of the people as expressed in the commission's consultations, rubbish what the commission had drafted, and imposed his own "constitution". This was one of the most deceitful episodes in Fijian history. So, to say that Bainimarama's stuck to his Roadmap is one helluva whopper.

That's not to mention the long litany of other lies Bainimarama has given us, such as transparency and accountability in government, no military to benefit, full disclosure of assets, etc., etc.

Bainimarama is an inveterate liar. What about you? Are you a liar as well? I prefer to give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you're not a liar. Maybe you're just extremely gullible or very stupid.

anon 7.25you typical of regime like kaiyum plays with words and plays politics...Just stick to facts and fact is section 185 of 1997 const which empowers native landowners to have direct power on legislation affecting their land - NO LONGER EXISTS AND WAS REMOVED!!!STICK TO THE FACTS DICKHEAD

THE CWM Hospital is investigating claims by a young mother that she delivered her baby while being forced to walk from the observation room in the maternity ward to the delivery room, allegedly resulting in the newborn falling on the floor and suffering injuries.

"The two midwives told me to walk. I said I couldn't because I could feel the baby coming but they insisted I walk. I took about three steps when my baby came out and fell to the floor, severing the umbilical cord."

To Baimagasona, I hope you're reading this as the health services in Fiji is fucked, just like you you asshole.

I do not understand one thing. To all you Kaiviti worried about your land don't agree to lease it. Hold on to it. You don't have to lease your land. When it has been leased its gone for 99 years or so. If it is so important why don't you use your own resources to start your own business. Build Hotels, Start renewal energy projects, hell build a freaking Casino on it if you have too. Why are you leasing it since the land is your identity. Why give it to us "greedy Indians" and the "greedy kaivalagi". No one is stopping you from utilizing the land for your own good instead of taking a small cut from the lessee's profits why not take it all for yourselves. When are we going to stop seeing some grog doped landowner in the Fiji Times receiving a Chq from some investor or other looking as dumb as a lamp post. Since some of you on this blog seem to think that you are the chosen ones why don't you go out their and kick some business ass. You own all the resources anyway and this should be very easy. We Indians in Fiji usually start from nothing nada. I started my business from nothing and now i employ 30 people. You have a head start in this country. WHY AREN'T YOU RICH YET.

Anon@1.21pm...Caita na sonalevunei Voreqe drau qai hippie!hippie!Hurray mada? Why aint we rich yet?simple reason ,you're still hereand every time i turned around tolook, you're like a colon cancer?You'd shit there and hang-on for dear life! In order to stop you from smelling the ass, tough action has to be taken to git rid of you? Yes, it,s not easy,you've gotta be snipped right out of once ass,throw you into the fire & burned you to ashes.And thatis what we intent to do after the election?You were brought into thecountry by the Kaivalagi as slavesin their Rubber & Sugarcane farms.The Kaivalagi used to whipped yourass from sun-up to sun-down and myancestors with their good hearts,would allow you heartlespricks, to use our land freely toplant your food etc? But you took advantages by selling the produceto other & thus make money freelyfrom our land? So stop givingyourself a tap in the back, causeyou're just a greedy assoles?Colonial Governmentrecognized what you were doing anddecided to leased you our land instead of having you take advantages of us Fijians? That waswhy we leased you our land,lookassoles, we've enslaved you on ourland for the past 200years.The new99 years lease granted by the Bainimarama Regime will definitelybe tossed out of our law books,after the September election? it will go back to 10 to15 years top & if you don't like it middle fingure to your ass?Lookat one of your top comunity leaderin Chodohry.Not too trustworth?Andis finally been found guility fortaking money $1.5 million, that was meant for your poor?

Anon 2.48. Yes I am greedy. If waking up 4am in the morning to start my day is being greedy so be it. If working till late in the night means i am greedy so be it. If giving a well paid job to 30 people half of who are i-taukei is being greedy so be it. If giving money to the needy and down trodden in society is greedy then i am guilty. If working hard for a living is being greedy and being like Colon Cancer well so be it. You my friend judging simply by your language are a great human being made in the image of God. You are so not Greedy that you have had all the resources and all the affirmative action since 1987 and you still haven't left the starting line. I do not mean any disrespect to anyone no matter how much you swear at me. I really do wish to see all the people of this country do well for only then we will have lasting peace. My question is simple why is the i-taukei people still hoping that some kaivalagi will stroll in with a chq and lease their land. Why cant you take the initiative and build a business on it yourself. It is a legitimate question that all i-taukei people should be asking as blaming others for your failures is easy being men enough to admit your own failures is hard.And by the way Mahen was never my leader and never will be. He was only able to fool people like you in the Indian community not people with half a brain.
